Palisades Sculpture Installation

Palisades Sculpture Installation

I had a great day installing a sculpture at the Palisades High School in Kintnersville, Pennsylvania. Over the course of the day we worked on building portions of the sculpture, and finally put it all together by the end of the day. Thanks to the students of Palisades High School, as well as all of the students from the surrounding schools who visited. The evening dedication and unveiling were the culmination of a fantastic day.

Since the sculpture was being installed at a school, I wanted to create something that would resonate well with its surroundings. The sculpture is a figure holding a giant pencil. The theme behind the piece was to inspire learning. As many people know, I like using pencils in my work, and I used this opportunity to include another oversized writing utensil. The best part of the sculpture is what it is writing, but you’ll have to visit the sculpture to see what it says.
